Workflow

Make progressive planning:

  1. Analyze L0 (User Input) & Context: Deconstruct the request. Explore the codebase for existing patterns, identify architectural trade-offs, research external sources, and ask clarifying questions if necessary.
  2. Draft L1 (High-Level Strategy): Define the technical approach. Establish the architectural design, key technical decisions, and dependency requirements.
  3. Draft L2 (Low-level Design): Iterate on L1 until approved. Then, define the low-level specifics: interfaces, data structures, and algorithms.
  4. Draft L3 (Implementation Plan): Iterate on L2 until approved. Then, outline the execution roadmap: pseudo-code, step-by-step logic, boundaries, and test plans.
  5. Execute Implementation: Iterate on L3 until approved. Implement the solution strictly following the comprehensive L3a plan.
  6. Finalize Documentation: Compile the output and write docs/task/RESULT.md.

Notes:

  • Write each stage of plan to file docs/task/<task-name>/L<X>-PLAN.md. Files has more than 250 lines MUST be splitted.
  • MUST ask user for explict approval before getting into next planning.
  • Make use of sub agent to reduct your cognitive load.
  • Upsert necessary documents.
